Large handle tweezers
There are a number of everyday personal grooming items that have been made easier to use simply by changing the handles, or the way in which the handles can be held. Tweezers are one such example.
Normal tweezers can be difficult to use because they tend to be small devices with narrow thin handles that are hard to hold and manipulate. The use of tweezers is complicated further by the fact that the object of their use (e.g. a splinter) is often very small and difficult to see. As a result, using them requires a high degree of dexterity and this is only possible if they can be held and controlled properly.
A solution to using tweezers is to buy a pair of oversized handle tweezers. These tweezers have larger handles than normal with an easy-feel rubber or plastic coating and their increased length and width makes them easier to handle and control.
Many people who would otherwise have trouble using tweezers find these large handle tweezers simple to use.
Tweezers with illumination
A further aid to using these implements is to buy a pair of tweezers that have a small but powerful LED light. The small and efficient LED light directs a narrow but bright beam of light between the jaws of the tweezers making it easier to identify and remover the splinter, hair etc.
Normally these tweezers are still small enough to be discreet and they will fit into any handbag.
